Slayyyter’s been kicking around since 2018, dropping killer tracks like “BFF” and “Hello Kitty,” and eventually the 2021 album Troubled Paradise and the 2023 follow-up Starfucker. And yet it feels very much like this is her time. Right fucking now!
Her third album, Worst Girl in America, is a start-to-finish riotous, debauched, genre-defying beast of a record. Not one second is wasted. Every opportunity to rub quality alt-pop in the face of the collective is grabbed with eager mitts.
Slayyyter’s recent Coachella performances saw a lot of these songs “slayyy” in front of a rabid, afternoon festival crowd, and one can only imagine a huge year from here. Any one of these tunes could be a single, from the industrial-tinged, guttural glory of “HEY GODDD” to the sultry, kitten-esque joy of “Unknown Loverz.”
“I’m Actually Kinda Famous” is the sort of satirical, upbeat-cynical look at the celebrity party life that one can easily imagine dropping hard at the clubs. If Slayyyter is indeed the worst girl in America, we want to be down there with her.
